Summary

The Device Specific Method (_DSM) is on optional object that defines
device specific controls. This will be useful for our power management
controller in upcoming patches. More information can be found in ACPI
spec 6.2 section 9.1.1

https://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_2.pdf


I've had this sitting in my branch for emulated S3 for quite a while. It works
well there and upcoming devices such as NVDIMM may need this before I am ready
to submit my branch for review.

Test Plan

Tested in my s0ix branch

Event Timeline

Here is some sample usage from the SPMC driver which will later be up for review:

	dsm_bits = acpi_DSMQuery(acpi_get_handle(dev), lps0_uuid, SPMC_REVISION);
	if ((dsm_bits & 1) == 0) {
		device_printf(dev, "Useless device without _DSM\n");
		return (ENODEV);
	}
	status = acpi_EvaluateDSM(handle, lps0_uuid, SPMC_REVISION,
	    LPS0_DEVICE_CONSTRAINTS, &buf);
 	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
		return (ENXIO);

9.1.1 ?

Style(9) prefers to avoid initialization in declaration.

return (0);

Might be, pass PACKAGE as an arg to acpi_EvaluateDSM() ?

to use ?

It was the correct section for the wrong version of the spec :-)

2638 ↗(On Diff #47920)

That's fine with me. I was planning to wait until there was actually a user of it. For my usage, it's always just empty, and I just looked now and saw NVDIMM does have some uses for it.

I can't remember what I was trying to do here but it doesn't make sense in its current form. I also don't ever expect out_buf to be NULL, so I've changed that as well.

One more return ();

And there.

Perhaps mention the version in the comment then ?
